Master, don't tease me, you can't handle three of them.

Jingyou sat on the roof beam, boredly waiting for someone to come and talk to him.

And indeed, the person they were waiting for actually came.

"He Hao?! What are you doing? Stealing a corpse!"

Jingyou loudly protested, but neither of them could hear him. Zheng Hongtian quietly left Yunzang Sect with his body in his arms.

With his physical body brought out, Jingyou was finally able to fly out as well, and then he saw the current state of the Cloud Burial Sect.

Everywhere there were traces of lightning strikes, and the entire sect was like a ruin. Only Hanfeng was unharmed, and the main peak was slightly better.

Combined with the previous thunder, Jingyou had a bad feeling, but no one could give him an answer. Wherever Zheng Hongtian and He Hao took his body, his soul could only follow.

Along the way, he witnessed the devastation of the mortal world.

Jingyou roughly guessed what had happened; something must have happened at Shenshan.

What about his brother and the others? He still hasn't seen them...

In the end, Zheng Hongtian took him to the Tianyan Sect, then handed him over to He Hao, and went in alone.

"What are you doing here, Tianyan Sect?" Jing You was completely bewildered.

He Hao held Jing You's body tightly. He didn't know what Gu Yue had done to Jing You's body, but even though he had been dead for so long, his body was still hard.

"Jingyou, don't worry, you'll be back soon..."

Jingyou: "?!!"

First of all, he's already dead, what's the point of him coming back?

Secondly, his soul is still near his body, which clearly indicates that these two people are behind it.

Finally, He Hao, you're hugging me way too tight! Aren't you afraid you'll squeeze my body out of shape?! You'll be scared to death!!!

Not long after Zheng Hongtian went in, Jingyou heard strange noises coming from the direction of Tianyan Sect.

Suddenly, a sky full of golden light appeared, and then he saw Han Luo and Zhang Tianxing appear above the Tianyan Sect.

"Master?!" Jingyou exclaimed in surprise.

Why is Master fighting with Sect Leader Zhang? Where's my brother? Why isn't he by Master's side?

But Jingyou could also see that Zhang Tianxing was being unilaterally abused by Han Luo.

Master has become much stronger...

No one could explain the current situation to Jingyou, so he simply stopped thinking about it.

It wasn't until He Hao took him there that he overheard Han Luo and Zheng Hongtian's conversation.

Upon hearing this, Jingyou looked at Zheng Hongtian. His death was a sacrifice for Zheng Hongtian's life...

Jingyou had many questions he wanted to ask Zheng Hongtian, but unfortunately, the moment he opened his eyes, Zheng Hongtian slowly closed them.

He will never know if Zheng Hongtian loves his son...

Jingyou had just woken up and was still unable to control his body. He could only try to make normal sounds in He Hao's arms.

"What... happened? Where's my brother?"

He Hao told Jing You everything he knew: the sky over the sacred mountain had indeed broken, but he didn't know anything about Jing Shu.

Shi Chuan and the other two rushed over upon hearing the commotion, and were incredibly excited when they saw Jing You.

"Where's my brother?" Jingyou asked persistently.

Shi Chuan and the others were silent for a moment, and then told Jing You everything that Shi Shi had told them.

Fearing that Jingyou might get too emotional, Gu Meng quickly added that Jingshu would soon be brought back by Hanluo.

"He Hao..." Jing You said softly. As his senses gradually returned, Jing You stood up with the help of several people.

"Can you wait here for me for a while? I'll go check on my brother. Once I see he's alright, I'll go with you to take him back to the Yaoyang Sect for his burial..."

“Okay…” He Hao released Jing You’s hand. “The sect leader and I will wait for you to come back here.”

"Thank you..."

With the help of Shi Chuan and Gu Meng, Jing You slowly left the place.

Ji Chen knew that it was not appropriate for him to follow at this time, so he stayed behind. Xiao Qing was greatly affected, and even though Zhang Tianxing was already dead, it did not utter a single word.

Now, he should go back to his sect for a visit.

Jingyou gradually regained his mobility and soon no longer needed their support, walking even faster.

But when they saw Han Luo slowly walking towards them, all three of them went blank for a moment.

They didn't know whether to be shocked first by the egg in Han Luo's arms or by the endless stream of demonic energy emanating from Han Luo.

Fan Qingyan followed behind Han Luo, his brows furrowed as if they were knotted together.

"Master..." Jingyou called out blankly.

"Okay, I'm glad you're alright. Let Meng'er and I help you with the rest. I'll take your brother back first."

Han Luo's tone was calm, and apart from the demonic aura surrounding him, he was no different from usual.

"Okay," Jingyou could only reply.

The next instant, Han Luo disappeared from the spot, and Fan Qingyan followed after him. He didn't even notice that Jing You had been resurrected.

None of the three spoke; they all understood perfectly well what was going on.

His master has developed inner demons...

As for the reason, they all know it...

……

With the help of Shi Chuan and Gu Meng, Jing You and He Hao brought Zheng Hongtian's body back to Yaoyang Sect and buried it.

He Hao's father, the Grand Elder, died in this disaster while saving his disciples.

Before he died, he left only one sentence.

I am sorry.

It was directed at He Hao, and also at Jing You.

After listening, Jingyou remained silent for a long time. He then told Shichuan and Gumeng to return to Yunzang Sect first, while he stayed behind to help He Hao with some sect affairs.

He Hao, he's all left...

Shi Chuan and Gu Meng, worried about Han Luo, hurried back to the Yun Zang Sect, where they discovered Han Luo's unusual behavior.

Han Luo set up a barrier around his courtyard, preventing anyone from approaching, including them.

Ultimately, it was Fan Qingyan who brought Fu Huai Zhi.

This time, the barrier wasn't triggered, and Fu Huaizhi went inside...

When Jingyou returned, Hanluo and Jingshu were taken to the Demon Realm by Fu Huaizhi.

After listening to Gu Meng's words, Jing You showed no worry on his face, only saying, "Master is tired, and Brother is tired too... Let them rest well in the Demon Realm..."

Gu Meng nodded without saying another word.

They will eventually grow up and have their own paths to follow. We can't keep clinging to them forever...

Heaven did not deceive Han Luo; the waiting time was indeed long.

A century later, Jing Shu finally emerged from his shell.

Everyone went that day.

They watched expectantly as Jing Shu, a young fox, opened his eyes and smiled to tell them that he had returned.

But in the baby fox's big, wet eyes, there was only confusion and fear.

Seeing so many people, he instinctively ran into the arms of the person he knew best.

Everyone was somewhat disappointed, but Han Luo gently patted Jing Shu's back, her warm smile impossible to hide.

Seeing this, everyone realized that, actually, it wasn't so bad after all...

Whether he remembers or not, he is still here, and so is his master...

One day, Jing Shu will regain his memories and, together with Han Luo, complete that unfinished marriage ceremony...

They were looking forward to that day...
